By
some miracle the French band Masala
Dosa found me online, and now their music graces the scenes in Trivandrum,
as well as various other points in the film. Hooray for the internets!

Nik
Phelps composed many scores for my short films when we both lived
in San Francisco. Now he lives in Belgium, but he still found time to
create "Intermission" for this feature.

Narrators
In March of 2007 I asked 3 friends, all natives of India, to discuss
the Ramayana in a New York audio
studio. Nothing they said was scripted. That hour-long session became
the narration for Sita
Sings the Blues. It must be heard to be believed.

If
AnnetteHanshaw affected an Indian accent, she'd sound like talented actress Reena
Shah, who played Sita's speaking voice. Reena also danced for the
rotoscoped sections of "Agni Pariksha." She is a frequent
collaborator of Todd
Michaelsen.
